serialization library for C++

This package forms part of the Boost C++ Libraries collection,
containing the following functionalities:

* proper restoration of pointers to shared data
* serialization of STL containers and other commonly used templates
* data portability - streams of bytes created on one platform should
be readable on any other
* archive interface must be rich enough to permit the creation of an
archive that presents serialized data as XML in a useful manner

Here, "serialization" means the reversible deconstruction of an
arbitrary set of C++ data structures to a sequence of bytes.
archive: to refer to a specific rendering of this stream of bytes.

patches to the BTS. Please do have a look at the outstanding bug
reports and send me hints or patches if you have extra information.

upstream elected to simplify the library name by removing the
redundant "-mt" decoration. Debian will follow this convention, to
remain compatible at link time with other vendors. The preferred form
of the link option is now "-lboost_regex", etc.
